Re: [Phys-l] A question for the list members



Hi all-
For me, absolutely NOT. I am already inundated with new titles from selective lists like Physics Today, and reviews in that Journal, Nature, and others. Also, I get direct mailings from the major publishers, and I occasionally browse Borders.
Regards,
Jack

I received a request from a publishing house asking for permission to post a
message regarding new titles that they will be publishing soon. The titles
will be of interest to some members of the list but allowing the
announcement will add a level of commercialism to the list that does not
exist now.

Does the list wish to be notified of upcoming titles from publishers? Do we
draw the line at books or should any physics-related commercial product be
allowed an announcement on the list?
